Atlantis in Peril by T.A. Barron

The second in the Atlantis trilogy by New York Times bestselling author T. A. Barron

In Atlantis Rising,
Promi and Atlanta saved their homeland by transforming it into the
magical island of Atlantis. They had hoped that would keep it out of the
clutches of the evil spirit warlord Narkazan. But Narkazan has
returned, more determined than ever to conquer the spirit realm and
Atlantis as well. Will the destiny of the mystical isle lie in the boat
of Greek sailors who wash up on shore? The powers of the ethereal
oceanglass? Or will the growing bond between Promi and Atlanta cause the
strongest magic?

With his trademark action, adventure and
suspense, master of fantasy T.A. Barron explores the magical world of
Atlantis and how its inhabitants' actions sow the seeds of its
destruction.

I received a review copy from readingteen.net

Atlantis in Peril is
the first book I have read by T.A. Barron. It was a book that caught be
by surprise and gave me everything I needed at the time. Even though it
is a second book in the series it is written to give you all the
information you need from the previous book. I highly enjoyed it and a
book I recommend to younger readers.

Promi
has been traveling to Atlantis for awhile now from the Spirit World.
His parents warn him of the danger this will cause both worlds if he
continues to weaken the veil by continuously passing through it. Promi
has recently had some truths revealed to him by his family and feels
that the most important thing to him right now is freedom. Without the
proof of damage, Promi refuses to stop visiting Atlantis. On Atlantis is
his other home, his freedom and the beautiful Atlantia. But when
Promi's sister is kidnapped and all signs point to Narkazan, Promi finds
himself needing to save both worlds before Narkazan can seize them for
himself.

The Island of Atlantis is set
off the Greece mainland but in no way resembles anything we know if
today. It's completely fantastical with fairy's and magic. It's like a
secreted wonderland on earth. What drew me to this story the most and
why I recommend it was the imagination and writing style of the story. I
have not had my mind opened to so many wonderful ideas for years. It
was if I was given a key to unlocking my own imagination that I had lost
a long time ago. Sometimes you hear people say "I wish I could read it
again for the first time." This book gave me feeling of newness and
brought back all the magic of long lost stories of first times, like
Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland.

Atlantis
in Peril has a variety of characters and magical beings. The women are
portrayed as strong, intelligent and determined. Promi, even though he
comes off as a little daft and self centered really shows strengths of a
true hero when people are in need. I think I experienced every emotion
possible while reading this story and found a new series I will follow
to the end.
